Note that even when I fix this partition issue I can't get dfly to install on the VDI (hangs) - also the 64 iso page dumps during installation - so perhaps something w/ the VM and not dfly.
-- I vaguely recall at some time I had a VM of dfly running but it might have been years ago

OK thanks, I've reproduced the partition size issue. The installer simply recommends wrong defaults here. After a bit of downsizing it will install. I will take a look at it.

Regarding the hang, It installed fine (and booted after that) here using your settings. I set the type to "FreeBSD", dunno if another type gives different results. But this is vbox 4.2.6 on a Windows host.

What exactly do you mean with hangs? The twiddle stops spinning? Are you able to switch to vty0 (with ALT-F1) which shows the files as they are copied?

FWIW df32 on vbox / mac mountain lion is pretty stable, at least running head within ~1mo as
a mostly df-mirror-target host (e.g. I haven't used it for much else, except a couple of system builds),
if a 32 bit data point is needed.
